Great video, Nick. From my experience; definitely a good move to keep the core meds (usually 2 paracetamol and 2 profen are essential for a strained/broken leg on your own and if you're lucky, some codeine, and obviously the mil med pack) in the top pocket and essentials such as warm emergency clothing in the sides. Main bit should contain the core kit. Everyone does it slightly differently but it's quite a strategic art how you pack your bergen. Personal survival is something a lot of people take for granted. The Bergen provides that.

Great video. I completed my 1st P10 this year (2022) and I definitely went off to quickly, the temperature didn't help either! Anyway, lesson learned, I'll be more prepared next year

Did my first bleep test for the police 4 months after breaking my back in two places. The pace and running was okay but the turns were excruciating. Could feel my back clicking/grinding. Had to bail at 6.7.

What are you waffling about? Danny Rae won the '21 (and '22) Catterick TAB not you. You were 10mins behind him. Big timing appears to be your only winning attribute.

Wish I saw this 6m ago. Its 2W before the Fan Dance and been doing training (30km-45km per week). However, I do load bearing training with 15kg and my foot tendons fuck up and can't train for a week (1w on, 1w off). Gonna do my last training this week then rest as much as possible so minimise injuries for the day....any advice?

Hi m8 they and forces use the ortlieb 79 or 109L heavy duty black canoe bags for sleep bag and bivi bag in Bergen, I use 79 L and plenty big enough and if you need smaller ones for other pockets buy cheaper lightweight ones is all you need

Some great advice here - thanks @eliteoutdoorfitness. Do you have any decent lower back stretches? I'm having to take time out from poor admin in this area - any advice would be great.

I still think the old Alice pack takes some beating, the only bad point is it metal frame ,is not the most robust on Para drops. The SAS Bergen metal frame is good, never seen a broken one yet !
